Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play the Blues concert film showings announced

From Jazz at Lincoln Center:

US Movie Theater Event: Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play the Blues
One night only
Wednesday, Sept. 7, 7:30 pm (local time)
This intimate performance, captured live from Lincoln Center this past spring, brought together an unrivaled cross-generational, cross-cultural collaboration as the pair of musical virtuosos showcased a repertoire of songs selected by Clapton and arranged by Marsalis. The concert film also features a special appearance by blues musician Taj Mahal, who joined the duo for two songs, as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage.Click here for info/tickets.

When you can't go to a live concert, seeing the concert film at a cushy state-of-the-art movie theater is the next best thing--sometimes even better because the cameras go in much closer than you ever could. Plus there's popcorn.

If you click on the link above, enter your ZIP code, and pick your theater, you may discover that tickets aren't yet on sale for that venue. But you can ask Fandango to send you an email when they are. Just don't let Fandango pick your seats for you, if your theater is one with reserved seating (like the Showplace Icon in St. Louis Park, MN). Fandango will pick terrible seats.
